"means five miles and everyway for you" is about what music means to us. He is showing you that you expect the song to be a personal thing that relates to you and has meaning specificlly tailored to you, but the milky way is a huge place, and nothing is related to you unless you take it as such. That's what i got from this song, but yeah i wa on acid when that came to my mind. Syd was lonely in the milky way and he remembers the days when he was able to smile, be happy. Its an expression of his depression with reality, and he got to obsessive thinking beyond the simple human issues, like the loneliness and lack of reasoning in the universe.
